Trends in European Space Defense: A Strategic Shift in Space
About
Europe is rapidly redefining its approach to space security and defense. Join us for an in-depth webinar exploring the strategies, investments, and initiatives reshaping the European space defense landscape. Across the continent, individual nations are increasingly prioritizing sovereign space assets — from satellite constellations to launch capabilities — reducing reliance on non-European systems and reshaping the balance of power in orbit. Nations like Germany, Poland, France, Greece, and many others are investing in capabilities, in addition to the investment in IRIS² and the emerging European Space Shield initiative. Paired with the October/November Via Satellite Magazine Europe special edition, this webinar will feature European government and policy experts weighing in on the forces shaping Europe's space defense future.
Key issues:
*Can European budgets, supply chains, and commercial players scale fast enough to match rising defense ambitions?
*How can governments and industry share risk and embrace a culture of speed and innovation?
*Challenges and opportunities to building a strong commercial industrial base
*How does Europe build the launch capacity needed for sovereign constellations
